"The best smelling car is one that doesn't smell at all." Greatness!

I wish Larry would license his products to a large distributor so I could actually afford his products.

Plus, small tip: cleaning the seatbelt is also what will fix your belt when it's not rolling back up anymore. It is not because it became stiff, because of the dirt. Hot water and cleaning will fix that.

Lots of good tips here, I particularly like the tip for spraying vent cleaner into the the vents and running the A/C. I bought an old SUV from someone who loved to eat (and spill food) in it and their dog was a regular passenger. It took a lot of work to get it clean, I found dried cola and food in just about every crevice.

I used the baking soda tip on fabric seats and it took the odour out overnight completely 👌

resolve high traffic carpet spray foam works amazingly in cars. scrub in it on the carpets, just let it sit on the upholstery. vacuum it up and the odors will be completely removed.

Im a fireman and my Subaru xv was driven in the middle of a forest in fire, and it toke years to discover that the only way to eliminate the smell from fabric and plastic parts ways with vinegar. The situation is a little extreme, but I hope my experience helps somebody to solve similars problems. It was no posible to desamble the entire car, but now thw car smell better.

I buy ground french vanilla coffee. Out it all over, under the inside of vehicle material. I've let it set for 2 days at times. I Then vacuum it which smells great! Vanilla goes through plastics. 😎 Coffee grounds both absorb & replace odors. Leaving a nice coffee/vanilla scent. 👍 Try it.

[teresasaint]

I personally find the new car smell nauseating. However, I love the new sneaker smell.

[DetailxpertsNet]

Many smelly problems in vehicles come down to mold or mildew growth somewhere within the car. During summer, when we rely on air-condition to help us survive the scorching heat, our cars are susceptible to growing molds. We usually have our windows closed during summer to have the cold air from the air-conditioner to circulate. That alone will make the mold thrive and survive inside our cars.

Quick Tip! If you have leaves or Debris(like acorns) vacuum or blow out the housing before putting in a new cabin air filter. Any acorns are just hard enough to ruin the blower motor causing a noise or in some cases a horrible vibration!

[bleachman]

Larry, I'm not sure what happened, but you seem so much happier in your newer videos than your old ones. Hoping that everything is going well, thanks for the great content! :D

New Car Scent is my fave scented tree flavor. I’ve never had a new car.
It’s the best fake smell of all the trees... not because I love new car smell subconsciously. 😄

[Porschik]

I've noticed that expensive brand new cars don't smell as 'new cars'. Cheap ones do though.
